I will be giving giving a presentation entitled "Constraining the Flow of Knowledge in Post-Secondary Education: Copyright as Impediment to Teaching, Learning and Research" at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law as part of the Conference on Education, Culture and the Knowledge Economy sponsored by the Center for Innovation Law and Policy.
The one-day conference is free and open to the public. Friday, June 6th, 9am-5pm Flavelle House, 78 Queen's Park Faculty of Law, University of Toronto Abstract:
Constraining the Flow of Knowledge in Post-Secondary Education: Copyright as Impediment to Teaching, Learning and Research
In recent years there has been a widening disconnect between the broader notions of users' rights articulated by the Supreme Court of Canada in CCH v. Law Society of Upper Canada and other cases, and on the other hand, the institutional practices of many Canadian post-secondary institutions. This presentation will identify these disparities, ask what accounts for them, consider their potential impacts, and suggest changes in policy necessary to insure that copyright does not become an impediment to teaching, learning and research.
